1 Consider figure A2.1a, in which the waveform is triangular and symmetrical about
the t-axis, so we need only consider the positive part.

The shift along the t-axis is immaterial and we might as well start from the origin as in
figure A2.1b. The equation of the straight line from the origin is Vmt/aT and the square
of the first part of the waveform is
T [ V 2t 3 ] aT V 2aT
I "(Vt/aT)

The second part can be shifted to the origin so that the time span is from 0 to (1 - a)T
and the square is
I (1 -

In rectangular form this is 1000 - j 100 and is in series with 1 kO, for a combined
impedance of 2000 - j 100 0 or in polar form 2002.5 L -2.86° 0.
Since the r.m.s. voltage across this impedance is 24J 2/ J 2 = 24 V, the current, I,
is
I = 24 L 30 o = 11.985 L 32.86° rnA
